Print Preview Panic

Did you see the note "This institution has chosen not to receive the following information from your Common App" on the Future Plans page?  At some point, you might generate a PDF to check over your Common App.  You'll see questions that we don't ask on it and they'll be incomplete.  That's expected.

By the way, the Future Plans page is where you designate that you're applying under early action or regular decision.  If you selected regular decision, we aren't going to look at your file until the early action review is done, even if you submit today.  Make sure to double check that page!
